So this year I was again honored and asked to create another heart! I decided to stick with space! This piece features a futuristic astronaut/ crash landed on Mars. The Astronaut then realizes his small ‘plant’ has started to drift away out of the open landing capsule. The Astronaut floats and reaches out after it!

The overall idea for this piece is to represent: Exploration, determination, and our fragility.The Heart is the planet Mars and the Astronaut our endeavor to explore.
